SoFi launches Big Business Banking to unify fiat and crypto for enterprises

Bitcoin’s recent price structure has not been easy to sit through. The price 
action has spent months moving sideways to lower, printing a series of bearish 
monthly closes since October that have placed the crypto sentiment in fear. 
That kind of slow pressure tends to feel worse than sharp sell-offs. According 
to a crypto analyst, instead of treating the recent stretch as a warning sign 
of more declines to come, history shows that the Bitcoin price is much closer 
to a turning point than most participants realize. The 2018 Parallel: Six Red 
Candles, Then A 4x Move &#8220;With the ongoing panic, buying makes more sense 
here,&#8221; the analyst wrote, adding that Bitcoin could reach another all-time 
high following this move. The chart evidence they cite stretches back to late 
2018 to early 2019, the only other time Bitcoin printed six straight red 
monthly candles. Related Reading: The Bitcoin Bottom: Pundit Reveals The 5 
Phases To Know When The Bleed Has Ended This period between 2018 and 2019 is 
one of the most instructive chapters in Bitcoin&#8217;s price history, and what 
happened next reshaped the entire cycle. From August 2018 through January 
2019, Bitcoin closed six consecutive red monthly candles in a descent that 
took the price from about $7,700 all the way down to approximately $3,500. 
Sentiment had fully deteriorated, retail participants had largely capitulated, 
and to the average observer, the price action looked broken. However, that was 
not the case. Those six months actually forced out weaker hands, absorbed 
persistent sell pressure, and quietly built the base for what came next. By 
May 2019, Bitcoin had surged to nearly $10,500, more than a 3x gain from its 
cycle lows. By June, it was pressing $13,000, representing more than a 4x 
return from the lows of that six-candle decline. Bitcoin Price Chart. Source: 
@ourcryptotalk On X A Familiar Pattern In A Very Different Market Bitcoin&#8217;s 
current price action, while not identical, shares some of those 
characteristics. The current price play out looks much like that 2018/2019 
sequence in structure, but the context is also more constructive. Bitcoin&#8217;s 
consecutive red monthly candles since October 2025 brought the price from a 
peak above $126,000 down to lows below $70,000, which is a controlled pullback 
of over 45% from the high. Painful by conventional standards, but measured in 
the context of Bitcoin&#8217;s historical drawdowns. Related Reading: Bitcoin Sell- 
Offs Are Ramping Up As Price Struggles, But Where Is All That BTC Going To? As 
noted by the analyst, the candles are red, but they&#8217;re not impulsive. There&#8217;s 
no panic structure, just steady selling pressure that&#8217;s been absorbed over 
time. However, while retail sentiment has deteriorated across the multi-month 
decline, institutional buyers have been moving in the opposite direction.

X If the 2019 recovery template applies at any comparable scale, a 3x to 4x 
move from recent lows would place Bitcoin somewhere between $180,000 and 
$250,000 in the months ahead. Even a more conservative 2x recovery from the 
$67,000 range would put the Bitcoin price trading at new all-time highs above 
$130,000 in the coming months. Featured image created with Dall.E, chart from
